Fresh camel's milk is popular throughout the Middle East,
Holland, the UK and the United States but it has not been widely available in
Australia.

"Some stockists are doing extremely well … but the
Australian market will always be limited because of the cost of product, we
never expect we are going to rival cow milk in the long term," Mr Chance
said.

The dairy plans to double its production within a year and
has approval to take on another 250 camels.

Stage two of the expansion plan is to tap export markets for
frozen and powdered camel dairy products.

Turning wild camels into milking machines

There are an estimated 750,000 wild camels roaming
Australia's deserts, with millions spent on aerial culls.

"We think there is a better way, an opportunity to
actually treat camels the way they should be treated. Because they are
beautiful creatures, very affectionate and actually quite intelligent," Mr
Chance said.

Rather than seeing them as a pest, the dairy takes on
pregnant females and domesticates them for milking.
